🇯🇵 Unveiling the Secrets of Aokigahara Forest in Japan | Scary Places to Visit

Aokigahara Forest, or the “Suicide Forest,” at the base of Mount Fuji, is notorious for its dark atmosphere and tragic history. Its chilling reputation arises from the high number of suicides that occur there, and the forest’s dense canopy creates a profound silence that adds to the sense of isolation. Japanese folklore claims the forest is haunted by yūrei, restless spirits of the dead. While its dark notoriety is relatively recent, local legends of abandonment and death date back centuries. The best times to visit are spring and autumn for milder weather and striking beauty, with guided tours to explore its natural features. Recent efforts focus on improving safety and providing mental health support.
